The Orchards Golf Club in Belleville offers an 18-hole championship course designed by Belleville native and former Masters winner Bob Goalby. With four sets of tees, the course appeals to a wide range of skill levels. The layout starts out with a gentler front nine where you won’t find any doglegs on the first six holes but as you move towards the back nine, the course gets more challenging. The golf course has an interesting and diverse mix of holes, with the seventh through the 14th being a particularly notable stretch. You’ll have to contend with abundant out-of-bounds and both water and sand come into play often. In addition to the golf course, the Orchards G.C. boasts a multi-level driving range as well as a large practice putting green with a sand bunker.

It May Be A Great Value, but...

Some of the greens, such as 9, 14, and especially 18, have dead patches of grass that are in need of repair. Also, the carts had swarms of sweat bees following throughout the round, which were more of nuisance than an actual danger. The bunker sand is inconsistent in places, such as on hole 1 where the sand is soft and hole 9 where it's firm. Other than that, it's a pretty decent golf course for it's price.

Worth the drive

Brought my wife to the Orchards for the first time. Beautiful tee boxes, fairways, and smooth rolling greens. Quite a gem for a little bit of a drive.

Solid Choice

This is an underrated layout with a nice staff and a fair price. It has a nice mix of holes and is fun and challenging. It was pretty wet and some tee boxes need help. The summer weather will help. Definitely worth the trip over to Belleville.

Great Course

Pace of play was a little slow, just due to a tournament going on that we weren't aware of. Course layout was amazing, course condition was great for April.

Course in Bad Shape

The grass was not cut and weeds were present throughout the course. The tee boxes were in horrible condition, all dirt with broken tees everywhere. The greens recently punched and sandy, which would have been nice to know before the round.

Overall the course was in great shape I got a little work out because they don't allow Carts off the cartpath until May. But the green best I've seen them in years!
